The current Penal Code of Portugal (Portuguese): Código Penal Português) was promulgated in 1982 and came into force in 1 January 1983 after the adoption of the Portuguese Constitution of 1976.[1] The new Penal Code replaced the old one of 1886 after the end of the authoritarian regime of the Estado Nova in 1974 and the restoration of democratic laws in Portugal.
The Penal Code of 1886 was also applied to Macau until the adoption of the Penal Code of Macau in 1996.
